Assembly And Installation
Wall Plate Installation Using Wood Studs
1. Determine location for mount keeping in mind display size
and safety requirements.
2. Use stud finder to locate studs. Wall plate can be mounted
on 2" x 4" wood studs that are 16" apart.
3. Remove and discard two plastic shipping parts from the wall
plate (one from each end). (See Figure 1)
Figure 1
4. Using wall plate as template, mark and then drill four 3/16"
diameter pilot holes through mounting surface making sure
the holes are centered in the middle of each stud. Holes
must be drilled at least 2-1/4" deep. (See Figure 2)
5. Install four connector screws (D) through wall plate and into
pilot holes using M4 Allen Head bit (CC). (See Figure 2)

Wall Plate Installation into Concrete, Concrete
Block or Brick
WARNING: INSTALLING THE MTTU INTO
UNDERRATED OR DAMAGED CONCRETE CAN LEAD TO
SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PRODUCT! When
installing into concrete, only install the MTTU into concrete at
least 8" in depth or into 8"x8"x16" concrete blocks! Never
install the MTTU into cracked, chipped or flaking concrete.
1. Determine location for mount keeping in mind display size
and safety requirements.
2. Using wall plate as a template, mark and then drill four 5/16"
diameter pilot holes through mounting surface. Use level to
make sure wall plate is perfectly horizontal. Holes must be
drilled at least 2-1/4" deep. (See Figure 3)
3. Install four 5/16" anchors (BB) into pilot holes drilled in Step
2. Use a hammer to lightly tap anchors into holes. (See
Figure 3)
4. Install four connector screws (D) through wall plate holes
and into anchors. (See Figure 3)

Display Installation
1. Lay display face side down on a level, non-abrasive surface.
Lay down a cloth if necessary to avoid scratching the
screen.
2. Position left and right interface brackets (B and C) over
holes in back of display to determine which holes will be
used for installation.
NOTE: Interface brackets should be positioned so that the
diamond hole in the bracket is located halfway between
the installation holes in order to ensure proper weight
distribution. Brackets may need to be expanded to tilt
position in order to expose installation holes.
NOTE: Cable management pull straps should be easily
accessible underneath the display. Length of straps can
be adjusted if necessary.
NOTE: Spacers may not be required depending on the type of
display being mounted. They will typically only be used
with recessed or bump-out back screens.
3. Determine which screws to use to connect interface
brackets to display. Use the screws that fit into the holes on
the back of the display. Make sure screws can make at least
three full turns into mounting holes. If not, select longer
screw from hardware kit.
4. Determine which washers and shoulder washers to use with
the corresponding screw. Refer to table below for details.
5. Install four button head cap screws (E-Q) through required
washers (R) and shoulder washers (S or T), interface
brackets (B and C), spacers (U or V) and into holes on back
of display. (See Figure 4)
WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO
MOUNT FALLING CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. Displays can weigh in
excess of 40 lbs (18.1). ALWAYS use two people and proper
lifting techniques when installing display.
WARNING: Exceeding the weight capacity can result in
serious personal injury or damage to equipment! It is the
installer’s responsibility to make sure the combined weight of
all components located between the MTTU up to (and
including) the display does not exceed 100 lbs (45.4 kg).
NOTE: Make sure locking flags are in the open position before
attaching display to wall plate. Flags are shown in the
open position in Figure 4.
NOTE: Display can be adjusted horizontally as long as guide
hooks are securely attached to wall plate.
IMPORTANT ! : If spacers are required, be sure to use
screws that are longer than the spacers but of the same
diameter!
6. While supporting both sides of display, lift display up to the
wall plate on the wall.

7. Slowly guide hooks on top of interface brackets on top of
wall plate in desired mounting location. (See Figure 5)
8. Slowly swing display toward wall. (See Figure 5)
Figure 5
9. Rotate flags on each interface bracket down to the closed
position in order to lock brackets to wall plate. (See Figure
6)
Figure 6
NOTE: Flags should stay in locked position unless removing
display from wall bracket.
NOTE: Display should be held in full vertical position by spring
clips on uprights. For some larger displays, a second
spring clip (DD) may be required in order to hold the
display in the full vertical position. See "Extra Spring
Clip Installation" Section for details.
Tilt Adjustment
1. Display may be tilted forward by pulling forward on the top
of the display as desired. (See Figure 7)
Figure 7
2. Tilt tension is adjustable by using 3/16" hex key (AA) in the
tension adjustment nut. (See Figure 7)
NOTE: Tension should be adjusted equally on each bracket to
ensure even tension distribution.
NOTE: Due to the low profile of the Thinstall Series, certain
displays may have limited tilt capabilities.
3. To return display to full vertical position, push display back
against wall until spring clips secure display in vertical
position.

Extra Spring Clip Installation (for larger displays)
IMPORTANT ! : Display should be held in vertical
position by spring clips. Listen for clicking sound when
returning display to the full vertical position. For larger
displays, a second spring clip (DD) may be added to
each upright so that the display can be held in the full
vertical position by these clips. Follow steps below to
install the extra spring clip.
1. Remove display and attached uprights from wall plate (A) to
gain access to spring clip screws.
2. Pull out display from uprights to expose existing spring
clips.
3. Remove hex nuts and screws holding spring clips to
uprights. (See Figure 8)
4. Use removed hex nuts and screws to install additional
spring clips (DD) along with removed spring clips onto
uprights. (See Figure 8)
Figure 8
Cable Management
NOTE: For attaching and adjusting cables, the MTTU mount
features a kickstand to allow access without having to
remove display from the wall.
1. Ensure mount and display are in the upright position.
2. Slowly pull bottom of display away from wall until kickstand
fully reaches its down position. (See Figure 9)
3. Slowly release display until kickstand locks against the wall.
4. Attach or adjust cables as necessary on back of display.
5. To disengage kickstand, slightly pull display away from wall
and pull down on cable management straps to release
kickstand. Slowly allow display to return to the wall. (See
Figure 9)
Figure 9
NOTE: Due to the low-profile design of the Thinstall Series,
displays with cable connections coming straight out of
the back may require 90-degree cable connectors.
Chief offers in-wall accessories that can assist with
recessing cables and connections.
NOTE: Certain displays may have limited space available for
cable management.
